This isn't directed at you and meant solely in jest (well but just slightly seriously) but sometimes I think we think a lot more about Alden than the people at Alden think about Alden, and sometimes it can approach an SNL Bears Superfans level of speculation. In a fight between Color 4 wing tips and ravello tankers, who wins? (Answer: Ditka)Couple thoughts:
1) As folks in the business of making shoes, they simply may prefer that their shoes get worn then stored away. Purely a preference, lots of folks who make things for a living derive pleasure from seeing those things actually used.
2) From a business POV, they may prefer that their shoes get worn so they need to get replaced faster (or resoled)
3) They may prefer that they / their retailers make all the money in the value chain, rather than the folks who sell for $1,200 on ebay

I always have the same thought whenever I see somebody asking for opinions about the "defects" on brand new Alden shoes..... I think we think a lot more about Alden than the people at Alden think about Alden...
PSA: Alden irregulars just landed. Nothing exotic in 9 or 9.5. Not much in other shells either.
The 11.5D Color 8 WTB with commando/antique edge had me stopped and thinking for a moment...

I didn't see it either! I did however see the 4060 on 11.5D.... although, they're probably gone by now
